This "Look to Christ" is featured in our episode: Recovering a Supernatural Assurance
There are real enemies who want your faith weak and your conscience unstable. Evil spirits do not need you to abandon Christianity. They only need you to doubt whether Christ truly holds you. If they can keep you questioning your standing before God, they can keep you exhausted, inward, and afraid.
Satan is called the accuser for a reason. His work is not creative. It is repetitive. He drags forgiven sins back into your mind. He whispers that this failure proves you were never really saved. He tells you that God is patient with others but weary of you.
And the moment you try to fight that voice with your own obedience, you have already lost.
You cannot fight spiritual warfare with flesh. You cannot defeat accusations by promising to do better. You cannot silence the enemy by inspecting your performance. That only feeds the lie that your safety rests in you.
Faith is the weapon.
Scripture is how the battle is fought. Not as inspirational language, but as truth that captures the mind. And when the mind is captured, the soul follows. This is why Paul says to take every thought captive. Unchecked thoughts become chains. Gospel truth breaks them.
You have been set free. Not by your consistency. Not by your spiritual intensity. Not by your obedience. You were set free by the blood of Christ and the verdict of God.
To doubt that verdict is not humility. It is surrendering ground the cross already won.
When you stand in assurance, the accuser loses leverage. When you know you are justified, his voice has nowhere to land. He can shout, but there is no hook. No grip. No fear to exploit.
This is why assurance terrifies the enemy.
A believer who knows they are secure does not panic under conviction. They repent and rise. They do not run from God. They run to him. They do not crumble under suffering. They endure it knowing they are loved.
You do not stand in the strength of your obedience. You stand in the strength of the Lord.
And when you stand there, the powers of darkness cannot move you.
